Definitions
- the present invention is also related to the following provisional applications:
- the present invention is also related to U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 09/747,735 (published as US 2003-0038174 A1), filed Dec. 22, 2000, and 09/602,313 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,752,432), filed Jun. 23, 2000, 10/094,593 (published as US 2002-0170966 A1), filed Mar. 6, 2002, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/358,321, filed Feb. 19, 2002, as well as U.S. Pat. No. 6,066,594.
- the invention relates in general to an information-bearing laminar assembly suitable for use as an identification card, and more particularly, to forming information on information-bearing laminar assembly by laser engraving.
- ID documents play a critical role in today's society.
- An ID document is an identification card (“ID card”).
- ID documents are used on a daily basis—to prove identity, to verify age, to access a secure area, to evidence driving privileges, to cash a check, and so on. Airplane passengers are required to show an ID document during check in, security screening, and prior to boarding their flight.
- ID documents are used to make payments, access an automated teller machine (ATM), debit an account, or make a payment, etc.
- ATM automated teller machine
- identification cards and documents such as driving licenses, national or government identification cards, bank cards, credit cards, controlled access cards and smart cards, carry thereon certain items of information which relate to the identity of the bearer. Examples of such information include name, address, birth date, signature and photographic image; the cards or documents may in addition carry other variant data (i.e., data specific to a particular card or document, for example an employee number) and invariant data (i.e., data common to a large number of cards, for example the name of an employer). All of the cards described above will hereinafter be generically referred to as “ID documents”.
- ID documents All of the cards described above will hereinafter be generically referred to as “ID documents”.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a front view and cross-sectional view (taken along the A-A line), respectively, of an exemplary prior art identification (ID) document 10 .
- the prior art ID document 1 includes a photographic image 12 , a bar code 14 (which may contain information specific to the person whose image appears in photographic image 12 and/or information that is the same from ID document to ID document), variable personal information 16 , such as an address, signature, and/or birthdate, and biometric information 18 associated with the person whose image appears in photographic image 12 (e.g., a fingerprint).
- a bar code 14 which may contain information specific to the person whose image appears in photographic image 12 and/or information that is the same from ID document to ID document
- variable personal information 16 such as an address, signature, and/or birthdate
- biometric information 18 associated with the person whose image appears in photographic image 12 (e.g., a fingerprint).
- the ID document 10 can include a magnetic stripe (which, for example, can be on the rear side (not shown) of the ID document 10 ), and various security features, such as a security pattern (for example, a printed pattern comprising a tightly printed pattern of finely divided printed and unprinted areas in close proximity to each other, such as a fine-line printed security pattern as is used in the printing of banknote paper, stock certificates, and the like).
- a security pattern for example, a printed pattern comprising a tightly printed pattern of finely divided printed and unprinted areas in close proximity to each other, such as a fine-line printed security pattern as is used in the printing of banknote paper, stock certificates, and the like.
- the ID document 10 comprises a pre-printed core 20 (also referred to as a substrate).
- the core can be a light-colored, opaque material, such as, for example, white polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material that is, for example, about 25 mil thick.
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- the core 20 is laminated with a transparent material, such as clear PVC material 22 , which, by way of example, can be about 1-5 mil thick.
- the composite of the core 20 and clear PVC material 22 form a so-called “card blank” 25 that can be up to about 30 mils thick.
- Information 26 a - c is printed on the card blank 25 using a method such as Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer (“D2T2”) printing (described further below and also in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 6,066,594, which is incorporated hereto by reference in its entirety.)
- the information 26 a - c can, for example, comprise an indicium or indicia, such as the invariant or nonvarying information common to a large number of identification documents, for example the name and logo of the organization issuing the documents.
- the information 26 a - c may be formed by any known process capable of forming the indicium on the specific core material used.
- an additional layer of overlaminate 24 can be coupled to the card blank 25 and printing 26 a - c using, for example, 1 mil of adhesive (not shown).
- the overlaminate 24 can be substantially transparent. Materials suitable for forming such protective layers are known to those skilled in the art of making identification documents and any of the conventional materials may be used provided they have sufficient transparency. Examples of usable materials for overlaminates include biaxially oriented polyester or other optically clear durable plastic film.
- Laser beams for example can be used for marking, writing, bar coding, and engraving many different types of materials, including plastics. Lasers have been used, for example, to mark plastic materials to create indicia such as bar codes, date codes, part nunbers, batch codes, and company logos. It will be appreciated that laser engraving or marking generally involves a process of inscribing or engraving a document surface with identification marks, characters, text, tactile marks—including text, patterns, designs (such as decorative or security features), photographs, etc.
- thermoplastic materials One way to laser mark thermoplastic materials involves irradiating a material, such as a thermoplastic, with a laser beam at a given radiation.
- the area irradiated by the laser absorbs the laser energy and produces heat which causes a visible discoloration in the thermoplastic.
- the visible discoloration serves as a “mark” or indicator; it will be appreciated that laser beams can be controlled to form patterns of “marks” that can form images, lines, numbers, letters, patterns, and the like.
- various types of marks e.g., dark marks on light backgrounds, light marks on dark backgrounds, colored marks
- various types of marks e.g., dark marks on light backgrounds, light marks on dark backgrounds, colored marks
- thermoplastics such as polyvinylchloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), are capable of absorbing laser energy in their native states.
- PVC polyvinylchloride
- ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the foaming of the thermoplastic that can occur with some types of laser engraving can be adapted to provide an indicium having a tactile feel, which is a useful authenticator of a data carrier that also can be very difficult to counterfeit or alter.
- laser engraving generally does not require the use of ink, which can reduce the cost of consumables used to manufacture an ID card.
- Laser engraving can also be more durable than ink printing, and more resistant to abrasion (which can be particularly useful if a counterfeiter attempts to “rub off” an indicium on an ID card).
- the resolution and print quality of laser engraving often can be higher than that of conventional ink-based printing.
- Laser engraving also can be a more environmentally friendly manufacturing process than printing with ink, especially because solvents and other chemicals often used with ink generally are not used with laser engraving.
- An identification document can be produced to allow a full color image to be formed on (or within) an identification document by laser addressing the document with multiple lasers (e.g., three near infrared lasers).
- FIG. 1 is an illustrative example of a prior art identification document
- FIG. 2 is an illustrative cross section of the prior art identification document of FIG. 1 , taken along the A-A line;
- FIG. 3 is an illustrative flow chart of a method for full color laser engraving, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of an imaging layer manufactured, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view, after laser engraving, of an ID card manufactured using the imaging layer of FIG. 4 and the method of FIG. 3
- ID document is broadly defined and intended to include all types of ID documents, including (but not limited to), documents, magnetic disks, credit cards, bank cards, phone cards, stored value cards, prepaid cards, smart cards (e.g., cards that include one more semiconductor chips, such as memory devices, microprocessors, and microcontrollers), contact cards, contactless cards, proximity cards (e.g., radio frequency (RFID) cards), passports, driver's licenses, network access cards, employee badges, debit cards, security cards, visas, immigration documentation, national ID cards, citizenship cards, social security cards, security badges, certificates, identification cards or documents, voter registration and/or identification cards, police ID cards, border crossing cards, security clearance badges and cards, legal instruments, gun permits, badges, gift certificates or cards, membership cards or badges, and tags.
- RFID radio frequency
- ID document can include any item of value (e.g., currency, bank notes, and checks) where authenticity of the item is important and/or where counterfeiting or fraud is an issue.
- value e.g., currency, bank notes, and checks
- identification at least refers to the use of an ID document to provide identification and/or authentication of a user and/or the ID document itself.
- one or more portrait images on the card are intended to show a likeness of the authorized holder of the card.
- at least one portrait on the card preferably shows an “identification quality” likeness of the holder such that someone viewing the card can determine with reasonable confidence whether the holder of the card actually is the person whose image is on the card.
- Identity quality images in at least one embodiment of the invention, include covert images that, when viewed using the proper facilitator (e.g., an appropriate light source), provide a discernable image that is usable for identification or authentication purposes.
- an image or information on an ID document might not qualify as an “identification quality” image.
- Images that are not “identification quality” may be too faint, blurry, coarse, small, etc., to be able to be discernable enough to serve an identification purpose.
- An image that might not be sufficient as an “identification quality” image could, for example, be an image that consists of a mere silhouette of a person, or an outline that does not reveal what might be considered essential identification essential (e.g. hair or eye color) of an individual.
- an image or data on an ID document can be considered to be “identification quality” if it has embedded in it machine-readable information (such as digital watermarks) that also facilitate identification and/or authentication.
- identification and “authentication” are intended to include (in addition to the conventional meanings of these words), functions such as recognition, information, decoration, and any other purpose for which an indicia can be placed upon an article in the article's raw, partially prepared, or final state.
- inventive techniques can be employed with product tags, product packaging, business cards, bags, charts, maps, labels, etc., etc., particularly those items including marking of an laminate or over-laminate structure.
- ID document thus is broadly defined herein to include these tags, labels, packaging, cards, etc.
- Personalized data and “variable” data are used interchangeably herein, and refer at least to data, images, and information that are “personal to” or “specific to” a specific cardholder or group of cardholders.
- Personalized data can include data that is unique to a specific cardholder (such as biometric information, image information, serial numbers, Social Security Numbers, privileges a cardholder may have, etc.), but is not limited to unique data.
- Personalized data can include some data, such as birthdate, height, weight, eye color, address, etc., that are personal to a specific cardholder but not necessarily unique to that cardholder (for example, other cardholders might share the same personal data, such as birthdate).
- personal/variable data can include some fixed data, as well.
- personalized data refers to any data that is not pre-printed onto an ID document in advance, so such personalized data can include both data that is cardholder-specific and data that is common to many cardholders.
- Variable data can, for example, be printed on an information-bearing layer of the ID card using thermal printing ribbons and thermal printheads.
- fixed data refers at least to data which is identical for each ID card.
- Fixed data can, for example, be preprinted on an overlay patch, a laminate or an information-bearing layer of the ID card. Fixed data can also be printed on each individual ID card during the process of printing and optionally laminating the ID card.
- variable data refers generally to data which differs for each ID card and is associated with personal information, an image of the ID card holder or a unique reference number for security purposes assigned by the issuing agency.
- an “information-bearing layer” refers at least to the parts of an ID document where pictures, images, text, bar codes, fixed and/or variable data are printed.
- the information-bearing layer can include a separate receiver layer adapted to accept inks, dyes, pigments and resins from thermal print ribbons.
- the information-bearing layer can itself be the receiver layer.
- the information bearing layer can be the substrate or core layer, but also can be a laminate applied thereto, or to another laminate layer on the card. There can be different information bearing layers in an ID document for pre-printing and for personalization.
- Laminates usable with at least some embodiments of the invention include those which contain substantially transparent polymers and/or substantially transparent adhesives, or which have substantially transparent polymers and/or substantially transparent adhesives as a part of their structure, e.g., as an extruded feature.
- Examples of potentially usable laminates include at least polyester, polycarbonate, polystyrene, cellulose ester, polyolefin, polysulfone, and polyamide.
- Laminates can be made using either an amorphous or biaxially oriented polymer as well.
- the laminate can comprise a plurality of separate laminate layers, for example a boundary layer and/or a film layer.
- Laminates include security laminates, such as a transparent laminate material with proprietary security technology features and processes, which protects documents of value from counterfeiting, data alteration, photo substitution, duplication (including color photocopying), and simulation by use of materials and technologies that are commonly available.
- Laminates also can include thermosetting materials, such as epoxy.
- Laminates can include synthetic resin-impregnated or coated base materials composed of successive layers of material, bonded together via heat, pressure, and/or adhesive.
- the material(s) from which a laminate is made may be transparent, but need not be.
- the degree of transparency of the laminate can, for example, be dictated by the information contained within the identification document, the particular colors and/or security features used, etc.
- the thickness of the laminate layers is not critical, although in some embodiments it may be preferred that the thickness of a laminate layer be about 1-20 mils.
- Lamination of any laminate layer(s) to any other layer of material e.g., a core layer
- lamination process can be accomplished using any conventional lamination process, and such processes are well known to those skilled in the production of articles such as identification documents.
- the types and structures of the laminates described herein are provided only by way of example, those skilled in the art will appreciated that many different types of laminates are usable in accordance with the invention.
- ID document structures such as TESLIN-core, multi-layered ID documents
- fused polycarbonate structures fused polycarbonate structures.
- inventive techniques can be applied to many other structures formed in many different ways to provide information full color laser engraved information thereon.
- the invention has applicability for virtually any product which is to be printed and especially those products which are to be laser engraved or marked and/or which need to be uniquely identified and/or protected against fraud and/or tampering.
- At least some embodiments of the invention are usable to form non visible indicia on articles formed from paper, wood, cardboard, paperboard, glass, metal, plastic, fabric, ceramic, rubber, along with many man-made materials, such as microporous materials, single phase materials, two phase materials, coated paper, synthetic paper (e.g., TYVEC, manufactured by Dupont Corp of Wilmington, Del.), foamed polypropylene film (including calcium carbonate foamed polypropylene film), plastic, polyolefin, polyester, polyethylenetelphthalate (PET), PET-G, PET-F, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and combinations thereof.
- TYVEC manufactured by Dupont Corp of Wilmington, Del.
- foamed polypropylene film including calcium carbonate foamed polypropylene film
- plastic polyolefin, polyester, polyethylenetelphthalate (PET), PET-G, PET-F, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and combinations thereof.
- the invention provides a method for forming a full color laser engraved image on an ID card.
- a special image capable layer is prepared that is addressable by one or more near infrared (NIR) lasers.
- NIR near infrared
- Each type of particle contained within the image capable layer is associated with a particular color (e.g., cyan, magenta, or yellow) and is responsive (i.e., can selectively absorb) a particular wavelength of laser energy to form a laser engraved pixel in that respective color.
- the particles are selected such that the wavelengths that they respond to do not overlap significantly.
- FIG. 3 is an illustrative flow chart of a method for color laser engraving (including full color laser engraving), in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- a leuco dye and IR dye pair (step 100 ).
- Our preferred embodiment employs three leuco dyes representing cyan (C), yellow (Y) and magenta (M) colors, and three infrared (IR) absorbing dyes, one for each leuco dye.
- leuco dyes such as those commonly known to the “Polaroid Sunspot” and have been shown to produce photographic quality images at high resolution (e.g., >500 dpi).
- the leuco dyes change to a specific color (e.g., Y, M, or C) when activated with appropriate laser energy.
- a specific color e.g., Y, M, or C
- other types of dyes can be used in alternate embodiments, as well.
- selection of the leuco dye and/or the IR dye is accomplished so that the leuco dye and IR absorbing dye have indexes of refraction that are a substantial match to the carrier material in which the particles are to be disposed, so that the image capable layer formed as described below will be substantially transparent.
- the infrared dyes are selected so that they are transparent in the visible region (or spectrum) and absorb at selected maxima in the near IR spectrum.
- the infrared dyes absorb at maxima of 810 nanometers (nm), 850 nm, and 890 nm. These maxima are chosen such that each IR dye can be addressed with an appropriate near infrared (NIR) laser without activating the other two IR dyes, but to an extent capable of activating the leuco dyes.
- NIR near infrared
- the reaction of leuco dye to the colored state is a unimolecular rearrangement that is driven by heat. It is, therefore, not generally necessary to consider viscosity of the reaction medium in designing the imaging system. Preferably, it should be ensured that enough of the IR dye is in proximity to the leuco dyes so that excitation of the IR dye(s) provides enough localized temperature gradients to produce the unimolecular transformation of the color dye to the colored state.
- a brittle, grindable compound such as a matrix
- a brittle, grindable compound such as a matrix
- this is accomplished by constructing an acrylate matrix for each leuco dye and IR dye pair.
- the acrylate matrix is then fully cured (e.g., through an appropriate curing method for the matrix, such as ultraviolet (UV) based curing), to create the brittle grindable matrix.
- the acrylate monomers, initiators, etc. are chosen to yield a brittle matrix and a very high cure rate (e.g., substantially 100% cured).
- Each fully cured acrylate/leuco dye/IR dye matrix is then removed from the reusable “release” carrier and ground (step 110 ) to a desired particle size.
- the desired average particle size is roughly 10 microns thick (about 10-20u square—max).
- the grinding can occur in many different ways, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
- the resultant particles can have any shape, although the grinding tends to produce irregularly shaped particles. In this fashion, we prepare three separate acrylate matrices each with its own leuco dye/IR dye pair.
- an image capable layer that is, a layer that is capable of having an image formed (i.e., laser marked or laser engraved) thereon by the application of appropriate laser energy.
- the mix is cast into a thickness of roughly 1-5 mils (e.g., 25-125u). This thickness of mix can result in an image capable layer that is capable of generating a full color image, with appropriate color balance, when laser energy is applied (step 125 ).
- FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of an imaging layer 200 manufactured, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- the imaging layer includes a plurality of particles 202 , 204 , 206 , each particle comprising a pair, respectively, of yellow, cyan, and magenta with an appropriate leuco dye.
- FIG. 4 illustrates all of the particles 202 , 204 , 206 as having substantially uniform size, that is provided merely for illustration and is not required for the invention. In fact, in many embodiments of the invention, the particle size will be random.

- FIG. 4 illustrates all of the particles 202 , 204 , 206 as having substantially uniform size, that is provided merely for illustration and is not required for the invention. In fact, in many embodiments of the invention, the particle
- each particle illustrates each particle as having equal, symmetrical portions of leuco dye (shown as “L”) and colored IR dye (shown, e.g., as “Y”, “M”, and “C”), but these are provided entirely for the purpose of illustration, and are not intended to show literally what the particles look like.
- L leuco dye
- M colored IR dye
- the image capable layer 200 can be formed as a laminate, a coating, or an adhesive
- first, second, and third lasers 208 , 210 , 212 each transmit energy at a different wavelength, and only one type of particle 202 , 204 , 206 will be responsive to a given laser 208 , 210 , 212 .
- the yellow particle 202 could be responsive only to the first ( 850 nm) laser 208 .
- the lasers 208 , 210 , 212 can be operated in many ways. In a preferred embodiment, each laser is operated sequentially. However, in at least one embodiment, two or more lasers operate at the same time. Furthermore, although FIG. 4 shows that the lasers 208 , 210 , 212 are disposed along side each other to direct laser energy in separate location, the lasers can, in fact be co-located and/or can direct their energy to the same spot, without affecting the quality or appearance of the full color laser engraving as described here.
- this mix is provided in a carrier where the index of refraction approaches (or equals) that of each of the acrylate matrices.
- the index of refraction approaches (or equals) that of each of the acrylate matrices.
- any polymer having an index of refraction that matches that of the resultant particles and that can hold the particles in suspension is usable as a carrier.
- the image capable layer (step 125 ) has a preset distribution (because of the mixing and blending of steps 100 - 120 ) of CYM particles (all preferably transparent), each capable of absorbing specific NIR radiation to achieve the necessary color formation.
- CYM particles all preferably transparent
- FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view, after laser engraving, of an ID card manufactured using the imaging layer of FIG. 4 and the method of FIG. 3 .
- the image capable layer 200 of FIG. 4 is coupled to the core layer 50 of an ID card 10 .
- Full color information 54 h - k is shown as being engraved into the image capable layer 200 .
- overlaminate not required to protect because laser engraving is within the document and not affected by external factors such as abrasion. Overlaminate is provided only if needed or desired for a given application.
- a layer of overlaminate 58 is applied over the image capable layer 200 .
- the overlaminate 48 is transparent to laser radiation and can be applied prior to the laser engraving of the image capable layer 200 .
- the overlaminate 58 absorbs laser radiation and so is coupled to the image capable layer 200 after the laser engraving occurs.
- the “carrier resin” system is can be solvent cast (e.g., no dissolution of the acrylate matrices), UV—100% solids, or extrudable resin systems. All three can be used to incorporate the imaging layer into a document structure.
